Service, service, service! Everything worked really fine! I asked for a cotton throw instead of the duvet, and there it was. I asked for extra soap bars instead of the body shower, and there they were! Bathroom was really roomy and nice - nevertheless, the shower could have a little more water, although that was not a real problem to me. The parking staff worked as good as everyone else - the car was out in just a few minutes, most of the times even faster than what we spent to come down! Congratulations to all!

I stayed at the Four Seasons during the recent Miami Food and Wine Festival. It was just a magnificent hotel. My room was large, clean and had incredible views of the bay, the service was wonderful, the pool delightful and the staff beyond compare. I took a spin class at Sports Club LA (attached to the hotel) and that was great as well. The only thing I wish was that there was a bit more of a scene at night. The facility is so very beautiful and it would be great if they had a really hot restaurant in it as well.

This hotel has everything, from spacious rooms to a trained and polite staff. It is well located, downtown Miami, close to AA Arena, Bayside Shopping, Marlins Park, Miami Design District and the renovated downtown area.
The hotel lobby is on the 7th floor, and that would be the one thing that I would hold it against. You have to switch elevators everytime to go to the room. But you get used to it.
We got a room on a relatively low floor, 21st, the rooms only start on the 20th floor. The view is not one of the hotel´s strong side, but it is not that bad. If you can, ask for a corner room, they are significantly bigger than the others.
And if it is basketball season, you will encounter players all around the hotel, they stay in it to play against Miami Heat in AA Arena.

Four Seasons Miami is not your average city hotel - it is a holiday resort in one of the coolest cities in the world and our stay here was quite simply sublime. From the day we called the reservations desk, where Paulina Gonzalez took care of our bookings (and helped us with our accommodation in Palm Beach), to the time of our check-in with Amanda and Isaac at reception, and check-out after a 6-night stay, everything was just perfect.

The hotel is located in downtown Miami, a short distance by taxi (or as we later discovered easily reachable by public rail transport) from the airport. When you come in, a wonderful smell greets you emanating from the ample scented candles in the lobby. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, managed by the hotel's friendly and helpful staff. We stayed initially for 4 nights in a Deluxe Bay View room on the 23rd Floor, which was smartly appointed and provided stunning views of the bay and the pool area. After returning from a short trip to Palm Beach, we stayed for another 2 nights. The marble bathroom, with bath, separate walk-in shower and WC, was amply stocked with Ortigia toiletries, a bespoke collection for the Four Seasons. These were replaced generously by the cleaning staff on a daily basis, despite not being fully used up. Breakfast, which was not included in our rate, is served at Edge Restaurant, so we only ate there on our first morning. The buffet offers a good selection, as well as value if you are a big eater. For the remainder of our stay, we opted instead to go to nearby restaurants.
The said, the Edge restaurant became our default choice for drinks and evening snacks. Happy hour was served from 4-7pm, and the menu offered enough choices to have dinner at the bar. Every evening, we looked forward to our chat with lovely bartender Jonathan, as well as congregating with other guests and visitors.

The pool area is accessible from the lobby area, and for a city hotel was enormous. There were plenty of sun loungers as well as day beds around the pool, and even on a busy day, it never felt crowded. As impressive was the hotel's gym, which is run by Sports Club LA. This was probably the biggest gym I have ever been too, with state-of-the art exercise machines, exercise studios, as well as steam and sauna facilities in the changing rooms. The gym is mainly for members, but hotel guests receive complimentary access. Housed within the gym is also the spa, and I decided to indulge in a 50-minute massage. The treatment was very good, however pricey. If there is any criticism I can make of the hotel, then perhaps it is on pricing of the spa treatments. They should offer discounts to hotel guests, as otherwise the cost is not attractive.

Four Seasons Miami is located in the financial district of Miami, and everything is within easy reach of the hotel. While taking the taxi, or renting a car seems most obvious choice for many, do take advantage of public transport. Metromover is free and connects you with Metrorail. The hotel really did offer us the best of everything, and I would happily stay here both on holidays or on business. There is a business centre on the ground floor, albeit small, which offers complimentary internet access for 15 minutes. Perhaps the hotel would consider free WiFi access in all areas. Overall, we had a fantastic time - this hotel does live up to the quality and service you expect from the Four Seasons brand and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in downtown Miami.
